Additional Information
Divers at our site are mostly responsible aware divers and are environmentally friendly. What we collected on that day mostly due to drifts from neighboring sites. We are surrounded by non public beaches and non divers. Therefore, there are not as careful as we try to be.
Sewage pipe, which was not recovered as was not planned prior to the survey. Further research and planning to be conducted to further decide for proper action.
Fishing Lines could be the most
